What an Honor!

Katie was recently honored for a book she wrote called Princess Goldie #1. The Butterworth Center in Moline honors students every year in "Literary Arts Exhibit". The center displays the kid's stories, gives the students a medal and a book and donates reading & writing supplies to each grade school in Moline. If you have followed our blog for a while, you may recognize the Butterworth center as the place we have taken the kids to get their pictures the past few years. It is one of the historic Deere houses (one of John Deere's daughters married a Butterworth).

Katie was one of 3 kids chosen from the 2nd grade to represent Roosevelt school (there were more kids but from different grade levels). We always knew she had a knack for writing...now she has proven this to many others. As promised in the back of the book, this is the first of a series! Mrs. Larvenz, Katie's teacher, just told me that Katie has turned in Princess Goldie #2 to be edited!

We are so proud of her & pray that God will use this beautiful gift for many years to come. We pray that her writings will bring glory to Him!
